seeing stars

i've said it before and i'll no doubt say it again, but in the meantime lemme say it now:

GUY CARDS ARE HARDER THAN GIRL CARDS!!!!!

this one took two nights to make! granted, they were weeknights...but still...i started off with the entire concept (stars-n-swooshes) pre-chosen supplies (geometric patterns from several older basic grey lines) AND kazan's fabulous sketch 11 from 2sketches4you!!!

so this shoulda been a "gimme" right?! yeah, that's what i thought too...turns out...not so much. ah well, the good news is: i got there in the end AND in time for my card to be submitted as part of the official 2S4U gallery!

How did I miss this card when I checked your blog yesterday? I love it! The LO and colors are wonderful. Very happy card. I am in awe of how you combine dps from so many different companies into a perfect card.

you know, I was just thinking that the other day that guy's cards are harder to make and so I had to smile when I saw your blog post! Its totally true - but your card just knocked that out of the ballpark - because it is just beyond AWESOME!!!

I seriously love your card - and would love to CASE it someday - but I don't think I could ever do it justice - your card is just seriously beautiful - total work of art! thank you for inspiring me and anytime I have to make a guy's card and feel like its just too hard... I am going to come to your site and remember this card!!!

You are right, Lauren. Guy cards are much more harder than girl cards. BUT.....actually I don't understand why you're saying this, because your guy card is AWESOME. Love the colors and design. You did a wonderful job! And congrats being one of the Fab5 over at 2S4Y!!
